Construct parallel lines.
Prove theorems about parallel lines.
Use the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines.
Using the Corresponding Angles ConverseTheorem 3.5 below is the converse of the Corresponding Angles Theorem (Theorem 3.1). Similarly, the other theorems about angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal have true converses. Remember that the converse of a true conditional statement is not necessarily true, so you must prove each converse of a theorem.

Using the Corresponding Angles Converse
Find the value of x that makes m ! n.
SOLUTION
Lines m and n are parallel when the marked corresponding angles are congruent.
(3x + 5)° = 65° Use the Corresponding Angles Converse to write an equation.
3x = 60 Subtract 5 from each side.
x = 20 Divide each side by 3.
So, lines m and n are parallel when x = 20.

2. ∠1 ≅ ∠4 2. Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem (Theorem 2.6)
3. ∠1 ≅ ∠5 3. Transitive Property of Congruence (Theorem 2.2)

Determining Whether Lines Are Parallel
In the diagram, r ! s and ∠1 is congruent to ∠3. Prove p ! q.
SOLUTIONLook at the diagram to make a plan. The diagram suggests that you look at angles 1, 2, and 3. Also, you may fi nd it helpful to focus on one pair of lines and one transversal at a time.
Plan for Proof a. Look at ∠1 and ∠2. ∠1 ≅ ∠2 because r ! s.
b. Look at ∠2 and ∠3. If ∠2 ≅ ∠3, then p ! q.
Plan for Action a. It is given that r ! s, so by the Corresponding Angles Theorem (Theorem 3.1), ∠1 ≅ ∠2.
b. It is also given that ∠1 ≅ ∠3. Then ∠2 ≅ ∠3 by the Transitive Property of Congruence (Theorem 2.2).
So, by the Alternate Interior Angles Converse, p ! q.

SOLUTION
You can name the stripes from top to bottom as sl, s2, s3, . . . , s13. Each stripe is parallel to the one immediately below it, so s1 ! s2, s2 ! s3, and so on. Then s1 ! s3 by the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines. Similarly, because s3 ! s4, it follows that s1 ! s4. By continuing this reasoning, s1 ! s13.
So, the top stripe is parallel to the bottom stripe.
